Featuring Jackie Welles Susan Abernathy

This is the first main job of the Corpo-Rat Lifepaths route. V is currently working as a corporate underdog, looking to make their way up the ranks.

"Sometimes I wonder what it's like to work for Arasaka, y'know? Way I figure it, it's like playin' Russian roulette for a million eddies. Give it a spin, pull the trigger. You hear it click, you strike it rich, And if you don't, well... the mess is someone else's problem.
So to recap - Abernathy is Jenkins' boss, Jenkins is your boss and he ordered you to off Abernathy. It's a classic damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. You kill her - you're fucked. You tell Abernathy - you're even more fucked. Why? Because for the past few years you've been batting for Jenkins' team. If you get the job done, and do it well, you might get a promotion, but forget sleeping at night, because who knows how soon you'll be in someone's crosshairs. Only proves the wide variety of opportunities Arasaka has to offer."

"The Corpo-Rat" Walkthrough & Strategy

This mission begins with V in a bathroom in Arasaka corporate headquarters. After vomiting into a bathroom sink, V leaves the bathroom and meets with his direct superior, Arthur Jenkins. Jenkins is noticeably upset that another employee received a promotion he felt he should have received.

Jenkins wants the rival, Susan Abernathy, killed, and asks V to oversee the job. V is given an Arasaka AV-a flying vehicle-which ferries him to Lizzie’s Bar in Watson. Despite being told there is no safe landing, V orders the vehicle to land wherever it can. The vehicle lands on a nearby basketball court, upsetting three individuals who are in the middle of a game. They approach V and attempt to get in his face, only to be physically assaulted and quickly dealt with by V’s superior strength.

V then approaches Lizzie’s Bar, having a brief conversation with the bouncer before entering. Inside, V meets with Jackie Welles, who in this lifepath seems to know V from an earlier time. The two discuss the job but are interrupted by Arasaka bursting in, lead by Susan Abernathy. Abernathy fires V and strips him of all power. The mission ends with Jackie oﬀering to help get V back on his feet.
